Why Won’t Obama Ban Air Travel From Countries Where Ebola Is Out Of Control?

Why Won’t Obama Ban Air Travel From Countries Where Ebola Is Out Of Control?
Why does Barack Obama refuse to take
even the most basic steps to protect Americans from Ebola?  
Even though it
has already been demonstrated that Ebola can be brought over to the United
States by a passenger on an airplane, Obama refuses to do anything that would
even restrict air travel from nations where Ebola is spiraling out of control. 
 
Back in September, Obama said that it was "unlikely" that any
individual with Ebola could get through the "extensive screening" at

our airports and pose a threat to the general population.  
But he was
wrong.  
That has already happened.  
And yet the official White House
position is that there is "no consideration of a travel ban" at this
point.  
What possible explanation is there for such gross negligence?
All of this talk about
"extensive screening" at our airports is just a smokescreen because
it does not exist.  As Mike Adams of
Natural News
has pointed out, Thomas Eric Duncan walked freely
through our airports and entered the general population without ever being
asked by U.S. security personnel about where he was from or if he had any
health conditions...
Ebola "patient zero"
Thomas Eric Duncan flew right into the United States and walked through the
international airports of both Washington D.C. and Dallas-Fort Worth. 
He was
never asked about his country of origin and was never screened for any health
conditions.
Why are people whose flights
originate in Liberia and Sierra Leone still allowed to openly travel to large
U.S. cities?
And nothing changed even after news
broke of a confirmed case of Ebola in Dallas.  
Just consider the following
excerpt from a CNN news story
that I included in a previous article...
CNN Senior
Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen said when she and two colleagues recently
returned from reporting in Liberia, they got a mixed bag of responses from
Customs and Border Protection officers.
“We all said we were journalists who had just been in Liberia
covering Ebola,” Cohen said. “One of my colleagues was told, ‘Oh, OK, welcome
back home, sir’ — and (was) just let in — that was it.”
Cohen
herself got a different response.
“I was told,
‘Wait a minute, I think I got an email about this,’ and the border patrol
officer went and consulted with his colleagues,” Cohen said.
That officer later told her she should check her system for 21
days.
“I said, ‘What should I be checking?’ And he wasn’t sure,” Cohen
said.
Barack Obama is either lying or he
is being grossly negligent when he says that we don't need to be concerned
about air travel from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone because of how good the
screening at our airports is.
When it comes to his primary
fundamental duty, he is completely dropping the ball. 
.....But the White House is not moving.
In fact, Press Secretary
Josh Earnest
says that there is "no consideration of a
travel ban"...
There’s no consideration of a travel ban
at this point.  But I can tell you that there is -- well, let me
explain.  There are a couple of good reasons for that.  The first is
there is in place a very
sophisticated, multilayered screening system in place to ensure that the
traveling public is safe
.
.....As with so many other things, it is hard to tell whether the Obama
administration is lying, is being completely incompetent or is pursuing some
sort of insidious agenda that we are now aware of yet.
